Pointwise and Uniformly Convergent Sets of Matrices

From MaRDI portal





Conditions for pointwise convergent and uniformly convergent sets of real \(n \times n\) matrices \(A_j\) are studied. The indexed set \(\mathcal{A}\) \(=\{A_j\}\) is pointwise convergent if for each \(x\in \mathbb{R}^n\) there is an index sequence \(\{p(x)_i\}^{\infty}_{i=1}\) such that \(\lim_{k \rightarrow \infty}((\prod^k_{i=1}A_{p(x)_i})x)=0\) and \(\mathcal{A}\) is uniformly convergent if the index sequence can be taken independently of \(x\) i.e. \(\lim_{k \rightarrow \infty}((\prod^k_{i=1}A_{p_i})x)=0\). Motivation for the study of pointwise and uniform convergence arise in multimodal control problems when using a control function. In this paper, the criteria for pointwise and uniform convergence with emphasis on topological properties are given. Attention is paid to special cases of convergence of sets of nonnegative or triangular matrices. Finally, several examples of sets with two \(2 \times 2\) matrices are analyzed.
